Been looking into replacing some windows at home, and after a ton of research (and way too many hours on Pinterest, lol), narrowed it down to Milgard's Trinsic and Tuscany lines. Here's a little tip I picked up along the way: if you're leaning towards a more contemporary, minimalist vibe, Trinsic is probably your best bet. It has thinner frames and bigger glass areas, so you get that clean, modern look and more natural light. But if your home's style is more traditional or you want something warmer and cozier feeling, Tuscany might fit better—it's got thicker frames and a bit more detailing.
One thing I did was print out pictures of both window styles and tape them up on my actual windows to visualize them in the space. Sounds silly but it really helped me see what matched my home's personality better. Still haven't fully decided yet though... anyone else have any handy tricks or hacks for visualizing home improvements before committing?

That's actually a pretty clever idea—never thought of doing that myself. When we redid our siding, I took photos of the house and used a basic photo editor to swap out colors digitally. Helped a ton with visualizing the final look. You're definitely on the right track... either way, Milgard makes solid windows, so you can't really go wrong.
That's a neat approach—I wish I'd thought of that before picking mine. I just eyeballed it and hoped for the best, haha. Luckily Milgard windows look good either way, so you're probably safe whichever you choose.
